Triple 1920x1200 surround gaming setup? Best adapter?

Considering WoW can be run at good enough steady FPS on a OCed Nvidia 6600 GT and it's graphics are pretty dated, I don't think you'd see much of a difference between upscaled vs a high native resolution, taking into account WoW is mainly what you want to run. A device like this...

NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

Really, this comes down to personal taste and I am pretty sure, at least the first gen from all competitors, will be a small niche market. Fine with me, I like this type of technology as it adds some immersion to grind type games like MMOs. True, if you doing the first few runs of the latest...

Keep in mind, we are talking about the initial mass audience intended release of a new product. Almost every initial release, from the color TV set to the first blue ray players, are expensive and grabbed up by enthusiasts first. Keep in mind, compared to CRT, LCD monitors still have room to...

NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

I've played around with some of the older 3D and VR tech and would easily be looking for a new monitor provided eyestrain and headache problems were solved. Even an old game like the original Doom is playable if you sit close using this type of tech. It won't come down to cost if the...

Personally, I won't be questioning Keys on information nor would I lump him in the same category as nRollo. I always felt Keys and Apoppin have been a strong asset to this forum as a catalyst for fact based discussion. My problem with the GPU forum mod being part of Nvidia's focus group would...

NVIDIA vs. AMD *POLL ADDED*

Splitting the vid card forum into a highly technical flame free zone would draw all the official feedback and benchmarking results from Anandtech and eventually relegate this forum into nothing but a flame fest area. Eventually, this forum would die and you'd end up with a tightly censored vid...

NVIDIA vs. AMD *POLL ADDED*

I am also rooting for ATI and will show a bias to them simply because I want strong competition to keep GPU technology flowing at a fast pace. As a consumer, I am not happy with Nvidia, but also agree they are the top right now for cost/performance. I actually just paid a Best Buy markup on a...

Palit 1GB G92 8800 GTS

If Nvidia can get SLI to work between models and generations like ATI, 1 Gig could be useful combining this card with a 1 GB 9800GT or even the 9800 GTX2. Or going a different route, in a year when games start running slow, you could combine it with that 1 GB 8800GS on newegg for $55. I have...

You forgetting one major advantage for ATI. The ability to mix and match cards in X-Fire is huge. If I was to buy a 3870 now for $189, yes I would be paying a bit more then for the 9600 GT for the same performance. However, initial reports are showing the 3870 already adds a huge amount of...

So now, we are starting to get a verdict on the Radeon-HD-3870 X2 and Crossfire in general

Though the best dual GPU card produced, as of right now it still puts out too much power at load for not enough advantage over a single OCed 8800 GT. The cost is also too high for the performance compared to a 8800GT or 9600GT SLi setup. http://www.amdzone.com/index.p...-ati-radeon-hd-3870-x2...

Yet another sneaky Nvidia trick

This could be considered an overclock, but keep in mind that since it was implemented by Nvidia, your still fully covered by warranty if anything goes wrong. Now, if there was a chance of multiple failures of 9600GTs in Dells with low airflow and a bad PSU, this feature would never have been...

Yet another sneaky Nvidia trick

First of all, this is not a dirty trick nor anything close. Bottom line is you now have a $169 card, which very well could drop below $100 pretty soon, that can beat the $300 midrange from just a few months ago. Also a card that in SLI can compete with top end right now. Don't care how they did...

If he needs to stay within this price range, these 3650s are a good choice. They will greatly benefit from new drivers. It took the 8600 series several months to surpass the 7600 series. The 3650 series, even those with GDDR2, have more power, they just need driver optimization. Plus, you have...

The 3870 also sits in this price range as well and is a viable option. Still not quite as fast as the 8800GT, but likely able to give a good boost in X-Fire to a 4870 which should be a very nice card. Nothing in this price range is a bad choice. All 3 cards are sweet and the 9600GT has the...

The 9600GT is an exciting product. It is a big depature from the 7600 and 8600 series, which were souped up cards from the 68XX gen. Not only does it show us how good this core can scale, but like the 8600GT, expect huge supply and a price below $90 within a few months. Not surprised. This...
